II. SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

This is achieved through a rigorous and balanced curriculum that encompasses the current theoretical perspectives and methodologies of the discipline. Anthropology is unique and effective among fields that examine human behaviour because of its particularly intensive techniques of participant-observation research, its use of both qualitative and quantitative methods, and its ability to bring together a comparative and global perspective and the time depth of five million years of prehistory to the investigation of human problems. In response to an increasingly complex global job market and anticipated areas of employment growth, the Department prepares students for career success through specific concentrations in Applied Anthropology.
